Simple Automatic Cursor Starting Point in Word

J

JimmyDee

I would like the cursor to start a few lines down in my Word Template when
opened. I haven't time to deal with a VBA course, but would love some
pointers.

Thanks

The short version: you'd set a bookmark at the "target point". Then have an
AutoNew macro that jumps to that point. Assuming you name the bookmark
MyStartingPoint:

Sub AutoNew()
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("MyStartingPoint").Range.Select
End Sub

If you don't know how to use a macro given to you in the newsgroups, there's
an article on the word.mvps.org website that explains.
